Strengths: Very light, very cheap, and awesome to look at (I bought the white alloy)

Weaknesses: NONE!

Bottom Line:

I wanted a light new stem and I bought other matching white alloy sette product and they all look great and work awesome. If you want to dial in your bike for cheap this is the way to go. I bought a shorter stem length and my bike is so comfortable now it feels and reacts like a new bike. I am also impressed with the quality of this product, very rugged and the paint looks really nice. I only weigh 143 and ride cross country and singletrack so I'm not putting a lot of intense pressure on this stem but it works great for what I do!

I've had this stem for about 3 years. I was putting my new frame together w/ new parts but I didn't have the right length stem. I pulled this off my old bike and it fit my reach fine. No bolt problems, no slippage, absolutely nothing negative to say about this stem! Great for the price.
